Hey I’m Your Only Liver. Take Care Of Me!

I am your liver.

You only get one of me.

Do you know how I benefit you?

OR

HOW to take care of me?

I store the iron reserves you need as well as lots of vitamins and minerals - without me you wouldn’t have the strength to carry on

I make bile to help you digest your food - without me you’d waste away to nothing

I detoxify poisonous chemicals you give me, alcohol, beer, wine and drugs; those prescribed, over the counter or illegal - without me your bad habits would kill you

I store energy like a battery by stock piling carbs, glucose and fat until you need it - without me your sugar levels would fall dramatically and you’d go into a coma

I made the blood in your system before you were born - without me you wouldn’t be here

I manufacture new proteins that your body needs to stay healthy and grow - without me you wouldn’t grow properly

I remove poisons from the air you breath,the exhaust smoke, pollution indoors and out – without me you’d be poisoned

I make clotting factors that stop the bleeding when you accidentally prick yourself - without me you’d bleed to death

I help defend you against germs that constantly enter your body - without me you’d be a sitting duck for every infection known to man.

Do me a favor and take care of me will you ?

I can’t tell you that I am in trouble until it’s too late

I scar easily – those scars are called “cirrhosis”.

Those scars come from the drugs and chemicals you take that actually harm me

Don’t drown me in alcohol.

All that touches your skin absorbs into me – be mindful of the toxins you put on your body

Everything you breathe I breathe too – don’t use aerosols

Don’t eat fatty foods

Detoxify me every once in awhile OK?

I actually have the ability to regenerate!

Remember, I do these things JUST for you:

metabolize fat
manage cholesterol levels
control your weight
cleanse your blood
destroy toxic chemicals

remove unhealthy cells from the blood
improve your immunity

Acidophilus Bifidus And Detox

Friendly bacteria; also known as acidophilus/bifidus is a remarkable health supporting nutrient.

It’s also a key ingredient in a good detox program.

All health begins in the colon.

You might be born with a vibrant friendly bacteria rich colon, but by the time you are an adult not much of that is left.

Nutrients are absorbed into your blood stream through the colon - if your colon is backed up, congested, invaded or toxic, nutrients will not be absorbed.

Pretty basic stuff.

Our Product is an excellent source of the essential friendly bacteria that are supposed to inhabit the lower intestines. It’s the only acidophilus/bifidus product that guarantees delivery of 500,000live micro-organisms to the intestines, without being destroyed by the highly acidic environment of the stomach, temperature variations or light. Friendly Bacteria restores the natural balance that must exist in the lower intestines to choke out cancer-causing bacteria as well as Candida Yeast overgrowth.

None of the products available at health food stores guarantee live delivery of microflora to the intestine. NONE.

Tests show that many of them do not make it live to your door, much less to your colon. Most of the microflora alive in these products at the time of manufacture are killed off long before they reach where they need to be.

You can benefit from friendly bacteria is you have: flatulence, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, stomach ache and digestive disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, colitis, chrohns disease, dysentery, candida, acid reflux, are on antibiotics and or steroids.

Used to promote: colon health, keep undesirable bacteria in check, treatment for intestinal distress, helps urinary track infections, strengthens immune system, counteracts side effects of antibiotics and chemo, protects out of country travelers
